to my knowledge any mods done need engineer certificate

hence that box does not make it legal the certificate does.

maybe im wrong but when i rang the rta techo's that’s what they told me about the air pod !

Babylon speaks the truth. It is actually even possible to get your pod filter engineered, however its a pain in the neck. I would honestly just throw on a stock air box, take it back and get it cleared. Then once its okay put your filter back on and make or buy a nice airbox for it. the airbox makes sense anyway, otherwise your car is just sucking hot air into the turbo..

hey mate just thought id add my 2 cents, yeh it is ok they'll pass it coz i bought one for mine about a month ago and it was fine.... the law states that the "filter must be enclosed" to prevent any fuel etc spraying back out the pod ie may cause fire...... so yeh chuck one on and you will be fine.

i got mine for about $80, how much is urs?

if you run some pipe through from the front bar up the old intercooler pipe hole you should notice a small increase in power. Cold air induction is easy to do when you have a aftermarket front mount. The box makes it even better.

i didnt know you can do that , even more reason for me to get a front mount!

but does it make a difference leaving your stock air filter or getting a K&N one and

boxing it up?

Coz i have a K&N filter but its not boxed up. basically wanted to know if it worth it

Babylon,

one member put a stock air box back in, used a k&n panel and said that he had a power gain. The stock airbox is actually fairly good when you use a k&n panel. I still have a un-boxed Apexi Powerintake in my car, I have been meaning to get it boxed but have been too busy. Its on my to do list.

I will probably buy a box from UAS and then get some flexi hose and run it from where the old stock cooler is up to the new air box. That way its 1. Hidden from prying eyes, 2. Nice and cold 3. alot neater.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
